Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship (also known as online safety) has always been a key part of our curriculum in school. Over the past couple of years digital citizenship has become even more important due to isolation and home learning. Our pupils are spending increasing amounts of time on various online platforms and devices. Please scroll down below to see a range of videos and information which you can share with your child at home to help them ‘Stay Safe’ whilst online.

2nd July - Reliability
We live in an ever increasing digital world, especially with the current situation. Our children are becoming experts in using digital technology and using a range of resources on the internet to research new topics. However, as adults we realise that not everything we find on the internet is reliable! Anyone can create a website. Please see below for links to videos to share with your children to highlight reliability of information. Always think - is it true?
